Level Structure
Our Acro/Tumbling program is designed for steady and clear skill progression. Each main level (Novice, Beginner, L1, L2, L3) is divided into three tiers:
Spark,
Crystal, and
Diamond.
- Spark Tier: Introduction and early skill development.
- Crystal Tier: Skill refinement and improved consistency.
- Diamond Tier: Full mastery of the level`s skills, demonstrating strength, control, and confidence.
To advance to the next main level, students must reach the Diamond Tier, ensuring they have mastered all skills required at their current level.
Student Progress Reports
Parents will receive student progress reports twice during the fall semester - once at midterm and again at the end of the semester. These reports include the coach`s notes on skill development, strengths, and areas for improvement, along with personalized recommendations to support each student`s growth and advancement through the tiers and levels.
